Lady Gaga Confirms She's Performing at The Super Bowl Halftime Show

Update, 9/29: After much speculation, Lady Gaga took to Twitter to confirm that she is, in fact, headlining the halftime show at the 2017 Super Bowl. "It's not an illusion. The rumors are true," she announced in a tweet.

With her new album Joanne releasing in less than a month, we can't wait to see what she has in store for us on Super Bowl Sunday. The big game takes places February 2, 2017. Mark your calendars.

Update, 9/19: Lady Gaga is expected to headline the halftime show at the 2017 Super Bowl, US Weekly reports. After news spread of the singer's involvement in the gig a few weeks ago, a source finally confirmed to the magazine. However, the NFL has yet to make an official decision or announcement.

"We've had conversations [with] several fantastic artists about [the Super Bowl] Halftime Show but no final decision," tweeted NFL Senior Vice President of Communications, Natalie Ravitz.

In August, word spread that another major pop star, Adele, was in talks for the Super Bowl gig, but the NFL quickly shot down the rumors, saying they hadn't given an official offer to her or any other artist yet.

If Gaga is in fact confirmed as the next halftime show headliner, she'll have plenty of new repertoire to perform after she releases her highly-anticipated new album, Joanne, in October. It will also be a follow-up to her chilling performance of the national anthem this year. Watch below.

Billboard reports that Gaga is in discussions with the NFL for the February 5, 2017 show, which will mark its 51st anniversary. She reportedly piqued the NFL's interest after her stirring performance of the National Anthem at this year's Super Bowl, which makes sense given she absolutely slayed (watch the clip below for further proof).

"We have had conversations with several fantastic artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show," an NFL rep said. "However, at this point we do not have a final decision. We're happy there is so much excitement about the show."

Coldplay, Beyoncé and Bruno Mars shared the halftime slot at this year's Super Bowl. Other halftime performers in the past decade have included Katy Perry, U2, The Rolling Stones and Prince.

Gaga called her performance of the National Anthem "one of the highest honors of [her] career," so it's safe to assume she's on board for an encore.
